These images may have been from the last good one in June. I was hoping for some inspiration to spice this post up, but I got nothin'. So here's the junk: A vintage metal toy truck -- pretty big, and perfect for carrying a bottle-brush tree. And some vintage pottery -- I really like the bright green one in the middle. The top flower pot is Shawnee. A cute little owl teapot, one-size serving. Here's a rusty vintage flat iron for those with more industrial tastes....GinaV

Whirligigs, Legos, and Other Thingstag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a0120a7b83018970b0176159c750c970c2012-07-17T09:24:32-04:002012-07-17T09:24:08-04:00I like to read some of the blogs written by ebay resellers -- they have lots of tips on things to BOLO (Be On the Look Out) for. Most of the stuff they sell and make a profit on are newer things I wouldn't look at twice during our yard sale runs, but I am trying to see beyond the vintage. Lots of them focus on one particular thing, like clothing, or shoes, or toys or books. I especially like Jessica of The Resale Thrifter, Rita at Ms. Goodwill Haunting, Tristen at The Ebay Entrepreneur, and Rebecca from Late Night...GinaV

Fellow vintage girl Colleen at Fresh Vintage also has some good ebay stories to tell; her Lego finds are both old and new.

Rebecca has a Weekly LAF (List and Find) feature where she offers suggestions for what to list, what to put on sale, and trends to look for. She also has a Flippin' Friday feature where readers write in on their best "flips" of the week.
